Go Your Own Way: Gnosis And The Fractal Spiral

Tuesday, July 1, 2008

You have to work on yourself before you can really get anywhere. No one can do it for you. The magical codex and the dimensional escape hatch remain firmly out of reach for now. The flame will burn those who are unable to hold it safely in their hands. The universe insists, most adamantly, that we learn how to do it all by ourselves. Gnosis, spiritual attainment, esoteric wisdom. Whatever you want to call it. No cheating, no looking at your friend's paper, no plagiarising - you must do your own thing in your own way. Otherwise, we are compelled to repeat the same tests over and over again, through multiple lifetimes, until we finally figure it out. So you have to do the homework. Sharpen your blade. Keep moving. Fortunately, there is no time limit and everyone’s ascendant path is custom-built for their own unique growth pattern. In spiritual terms, it’s a win-win situation.

To help penetrate the all-pervading mists of the illusion, one must first acknowledge that consciousness is not the accidental and purposeless by-product of the human condition. The perceived world that we appear to be locked inside, like the silver ball in a pinball machine, is wholly a construct of consciousness. The pinball constructs the machine around itself. Whilst a testing notion for even the most elastic of modern philosophical minds, it has been known for aeons by the ancient mystical traditions and experienced directly by the indigenous shamanic cultures of every continent. Now, it is being evoked again as a progressive scientific theory in quantum physics. It is not new information we are bringing to mind, not by any means. It is better described as a remembrance.

If you trace the origins of the major monotheistic organized religions back far enough, it becomes clear that they were never designed to help the individual grow and develop. They were there to control land, dictate moral and social norms and separate the common man from his divine heritage. Higher consciousness, personal freedom and spiritual communion, far from being the core elements of their basic mystical teachings, were concepts firmly discouraged by the various priest castes. In their place, the disempowering qualities of submission, victimhood, repression and guilt became the preferred tenets of worshipful compliance.

Destiny VS Free Will

Wednesday, June 18, 2008

So i was talking with someone from work... about destiny, she says she is curious about having the tarot cards read but then she says, what if he tells me something and i just make it happen with my thoughts, what if i just attract everything to me?.

So we made a deal... she is going with a guy who reads the tarot cards and she is going to be listening to her past and present, but her future a frind of her is going to write it down (without her listening to it) and is going to put it away... and 6 months from now she is going to read the paper and see if whatever happened to her was what the tarot cards said, to know if whatever was there, was meant to happen or not.

So what I think is, there is a destiny... there are 3-4 big lessons in life we come to learn and if we dont learn them then those lessons are passed down to our next life. However that we get to choose how to learn them, we get to choose our friends, and schools, our studies, our likes and dislikes... we get to choose our everyday living matters...

On an article on a website called Spiritual Research i found that our lives and composed by those 2 important factors:

• The popular western view is that we are in control of our lives and everything that happens to us is as a result of our own choice.

• On the other hand the popular eastern view is that every thing that happens to us is not under our control and we are nothing but puppets in a preordained plan.

However neither of these views are completely correct. The answer according to the science of Spirituality is that in the present times 65% of our lives are ruled by destiny and 35% by willful action.

But we can overcome the 65% of our destiny part, by using the 35% of our willful action to undertake the correct spiritual practice.

Reincarnation / Reencarnacion........

Thursday, June 12, 2008

I used to not believe in this... I don't know why I had this romantic idea about once you passed away you go to heaven and reunited with those people you love; that is of course until I started to do research and grow spiritually. I still wish I had this romantic idea of passing away and meeting all those people I love, and even my dogs!... wouldn't that just be amazing? However.... if we make mistakes, lots and lots of them.... hmm, ok let me correct myself, if we are unaware of the consequence of our actions at any given moment in our lives... how can we correct and learn from them if its not coming back to the flesh once again?.

I found this article where they make comparisions with Abraham Lincoln, and John Kennedy and how they lived lives so similar that it can only mean they may be the same soul in 2 different bodies; However what really caught my attention was the beginning of the research where they talk about reincarnation and here is some of what it says:

" A good analogy of the way reincarnation works can be found in the movie "Groundhog Day" starring funny man Bill Murray. In the movie, Bill Murray played a man who suddenly discovered that he's continuously reliving the same day over and over again. Every day was identical to the one before it with the same events happening and the same people saying the same things. The only difference was the man played by Bill Murray who remembered all the previous days and therefore learned to adapt to his strange situation.

" The allegory to reincarnation is how, with each succeeding lifetimes, we must face the same situations and problems that we did in previous lives until we learn from them and overcome them by finally "getting it right." Where reincarnation differs from the movie analogy is that, unlike Bill Murray's character, we do not retain our memories of previous lifetimes at the conscious level. We enter each lifetime with a "clean slate" at the conscious level."

"So this is why it is said that history tends to repeat itself. And those who do not learn from history are doomed to repeat it. Concerning divine justice, Jesus said that those who "live by the sword will die by the sword." This is an excellent definition of "karma" and it means that those who do not overcome their problems in one lifetime will have to face these same problems in a future lifetime."
